Night Life

For an indie vibe check out Collingwood and Fitzroy Sts. Nearby Smith Street is especially funky. Wanting a more classy ambiance after spending the night at Crown Casino? Walk around the South Bank area and see the city lights reflected in the Yarra River. Chapel Street is another fun area just outside of downtown. Honestly Melbourne has an incredible night life scene with great bars everywhere. Follow the link for more info.
